Made in Germany around 1950, The Genos Rapid takes 6×6 shots on 120 film. It’s a point and shoot camera with controls for a yellow filter, bulb, and a couple of iris openings. It’s made of Bakelite and weighs only a few ounces.

The viewfinder is bright and the shutter speed is slow. I don’t know what’s “rapid” about this classic. Mine has some light leaks but that’s OK.


A bewildering array of choices face the Genos Rapid user. Should you use a NGMZ ? Or is a TOGZ called for ?
